According to the Eastern Daily Press, Brooker, who is a retired fan maker, has spent the last ten years carving his hedge into an enormous dragon, complete with "six legs, huge wings and a mouthful of formidable teeth."

“I’ve taken it very steadily,” the talented septuagenarian told the UK news outlet in a recent interview. “I’ve very slowly got it to where it is now.”

The BBC reports that Brooker spends up to three days every two to three weeks trimming the hedge to keep it in tip-top shape.

In this video, watch as Brooker explains the inspiration behind his fantastical design:

Create a stepping stone path through your lawn or garden by mapping out the path, driving stakes at each end of its destination and attaching string to create an outline. Measure out the stones so there's one under foot for each step. Use a half-moon edger to remove the earth from beneath where your stones will lay and add stone dust to give the stones a stable base.
